3:01 pm
with the online on the screen twenty four hours a day. one out of every four greeks including overhaul the country's young people are out of work that's according to the country's latest unemployment figures with the jobless rate more than double the european average former greek m.p. of the center left panhellenic socialist movement eva kaley says that the dire situation as a result of the failed economic rescue well it seems that it's getting worse not better this is the famous rescue of greece from the european union they say that we reach thirty percent off on the climb and it means that while thousand people. greece this is starting to become a humanitarian crisis and i think it's something that we no one expected to see in the european union you see extreme poverty you see of people that they tried to get a plate of food from the church we have two hundred fifty thousand people every day
3:02 pm
trying to get to the church to find food we are talking about the young people that they want to find a job in greece the trying to leave the country we're talking about people that don't have access to primary health services and i would talking about things that no one expected to see it seems that the plan for growth is taking too martin too long to take place so something has to change i do believe that germany has stuck to this plan and doesn't want to admit the mistakes where we listen every day of things that could have big been better for greece if the plan was better if they had made a better estimation about what would happen but this is something that's not only numbers it's one thousand people human beings in the european union that lose their jobs every day this is creating a human tire crisis inside the euro zone. some of been driven to increasingly
3:03 pm
desperate measures due to the ongoing crisis across the continent a frenchman committed suicide by setting himself on fire on the job center in the city of north forty three year old had been refused unemployment benefits in the country which is suffering its highest jobless rate for thirteen years. has the details but said it reports that he had actually set a letter to some journalists saying that he was going to do this this week so the police had said that they had set of surveillance outside that employment agency but they didn't manage to see him he was already on fire they said he had entered through a side street and therefore this tragedy had happened now the man did this after finding out that he is no longer eligible for those unemployment benefits and this is not the first time it has happened in france in august we know that a fifty year old jobless man had done the same and this is a worrying sign for france for a country that has seen its unemployment rising for the past twenty months and this
3:04 pm
after a president had been elected on a campaign of jobs and growth so we haven't seen any improvements on this front so a lot has declared twenty thirteen as a battle for jobs he said that by the end of the year there would be he would be creating jobs for the french people however statistics show that by mid year the number is set to rise and let's not forget that more than three million french people this number does not include people who have quit the unemployment program because they simply have exhausted all their benefits similar to the case of the man who had just bird himself and also those young people who had never registered or those who were in part time jobs if we look at the trend we've seen a lot of suicides and attempted suicides in countries like greece one of the hardest hit euro zone countries because of this eurozone crisis there's a general feeling of the still in the country a lot of people going out in protest we've also heard of stories of suicides in italy another hard hit country so if we're looking at the trend that's happening in europe we hope it does not continue but we could see
3:05 pm
a lot more of expressions of dissatisfaction. the pentagon wants those fighting us wars from afar firmly in the spotlight defense secretary leon panetta has announced the creation of a distinguished warfare medal it will be handed out to joystick wielding drone pilots who wage their battles without setting foot in combat zones parties or being a good explain to my colleagues what it takes to get the award. so your signature you have a joystick and you point click and they get an award essentially that's all it takes to get to get a medal which is supposed to rank higher than the bronze medal which is given out to people who actually perform combat duty but according to the pentagon criteria i'm going to cite it here it will be recognizing a single act that directly affects the combat operation does not involve an act of valor and warrants that award higher than the bronze medal so instead of having to go to the front line or risk the extreme bloody violence there you can just sit in your recliner with a joystick and maybe
3:06 pm
a couple to you know for example and just wage war from about a thousand miles away. perhaps there is a there perhaps there's a basic knowledge of the territory somewhere in the border between afghanistan and pakistan that's involved but let's compare it just sitting around basically just sitting at a base to doing something like something that was done by sergeant william stacey in two thousand and eleven he received a bronze medal a bronze a bronze star which is considered to rank below this medal that we're talking about now what he did was receiving fire along with his squad from ten or twelve and we fighters from five separate fighting positions though outnumbered squad held back numerous flanking attempts and accurate and me grenades and large caliber fire he was hailed for questionably saving the lives of his marines this is a citation from his award citation and he actually died in combat in january of two thousand and eleven so again this man apparently does a lot less than what a person sitting at an army base and pointing
3:07 pm
a mouse and clicking on their territory somewhere in the middle east is. brought in stores which as you say have now been running to the men awarded with those they must have been praised for some very heroic deeds. that you were talking about here yes the sergeant that was in question was actually doing something on the ground right now we're talking about drone strikes we're talking about a very. questionable by a lot of institutions specially human rights organizations a practice of protecting the united states and the world from terrorism as the pentagon the you know you don't own drone strikes. strikes where they target someone via satellite and view this brilliant camera on the drone they never hit civilians they only hit militants right that is the official version but they even had they had to change that one which was which they have been rigged by them i mean the american officials the pentagon officials they stuck by that rhetoric for years until i think roughly two thousand and six when they had to acknowledge that
3:08 pm
yes indeed at least at the best half of the people who are being killed by the drone strikes are actually innocent bystanders in fact there has been a research done by various universities there was a study from. the new york university school of law as well as stanford university law school and they have said that roughly all of those killed only two percent are actually high importance targets that is those are the only two percent of people who are being killed are known terrorists ninety eight percent happen to be whoever it is very very disturbing numbers numbers are disturbing and i'm like to go back and remind you that now people who are doing this and who are basically responsible for it are going to be awarded a medal that is going to rank higher than somebody who actually laid down his life in the line of duty. and integration kowtowing to my colleague research a little earlier well there are no awards for cyber spying in the u.s. just yet but big brother is still watching the largest defense contractor in the
3:09 pm
u.s. develop software that can predict people's behavior by using social networks we report on that in a few minutes. security is tight in libya ahead of the second anniversary of the revolution that toppled the gadhafi regime there are growing calls for protests and the threat of possible street violence reports say italian arms and troops are arriving in tripoli well let's discuss it with paris based journalist barry lando who's closely following developments there in libya thousands are expected to take to the streets for this anniversary when it sparked another wave of violence as we've seen in egypt after all that's just been marking its second anniversary that there's talk of another revolution ness or could it get pretty bad in libya i think it could it could get bad it's been very bad all along i mean there are a lot of these militias really have yet to be it disband the militias revolution two years ago are still there still strong much stronger than the national army of
3:10 pm
the country and there's an awful lot of arms floating around there. it's a very unsettled place two years after the after the revolution as is the case across most of the muslim world why is it still so unsettled i mean many western countries then to support the transition process off what happened in libya. well there are there to some extent i mean not in any huge numbers or with any huge amounts of paid i think the italians because there are a lot of traditional ties with italy and there are oil interests in that country as well as that in some armored cars and some trainers but there's no there's no huge amount of foreign aid there and there's no indication that the libyans also would want any large number of foreign troops there but then you see you have a huge border which they know no means really whatsoever to patrol and you know
3:11 pm
they're in paris and we understand that a top libyan western officials have agreed to plan on choose day to try and improve security is that all just rhetoric or do they really mean are i don't think it's rhetoric but i just think the task we're talking about is huge i think that the border you're talking about four or five thousand kilometers of border an awful lot of it will then there's sand. and how on earth you patrol something that how you could you know close it. is beyond me certainly it's beyond the capabilities of your european countries right now remember they're struggling to do something with mouly where you have maybe at most a couple of thousand rebels there. is a huge problem and that it's far beyond your ability right now or i think the desire of europe to to move in in and help to any great extent let's talk more
3:12 pm
about what's happening in mali because there are reports that libyan military groups that were actually helped by the west during the toppling have get daffy and now fighting against the french at a confusing and warning situation mature and with these were troops a lot of the mercenaries who were mercenaries for gadhafi and who are on you know heavily armed by him. when he fell they moved out of libya came across the borders that went into mali and with their arms. which were fairly happy there it will take on the mali army which is a pretty pitiful shape and force france to suddenly have to try to come into mali and do something about it now on the other hand it looks like they've been at least temporarily defeated or on the run some of their more radical islamic groups from maui. war and money are now trying to cross the border and go back him to libya so
3:13 pm
that's one reason that they would like to close the borders to stop these radicals from coming back again right now they can move back and forth from libya to a jury of the pretty well that will bear is it up to foreign intervention to sort this out or do you think countries themselves can deal with it what won't show you all prediction for the future will this instability continue yes you know foreign intervention i think everyone's learned their lesson there and i think what you have right now if you look at the map from tunisia going all across north africa through the middle east central asia almost to the borders of china you have one huge strip of land one country other in an uproar of people. serially this massive civil war going on egypt where two years afterwards are still chaos and the west the united states with the interest military budget in the word
3:14 pm
. is unable and unwilling really to do anything about it i'm yet many are saying that the french have an eye on the resources of mali and that there are many interests of course coming from china to develop all the resources available there in africa but whatever you say some say this is asset stripping that sold at least western countries won't but isn't development and investment the way forward whether where it could achieve prosperity and stability after all a lot of the. but if he comes from people who are disenfranchised you just have nothing else to do absolutely and i think what's what's interesting or ironic about this whole thing is really that i think you'll find that some bill largest investments hundreds of millions billions of dollars in this region comes from the chinese who are putting in a lot of money in aid they are trying to establish connections with this part of the world obviously after resources but they're also bringing a lot of capital to move to these countries that don't have other sources of
3:15 pm
capital and the chinese have no cuts on the ground they have no army is there and they're basically getting a free ride from the military. the west countries like france really interesting here thought barry thanks for joining us live here naughty my pleasure very monday thank you. still to come this hour clashes marked the second anniversary of the uprising in bahrain a teenager is killed in protests two years after the rest first broke out but pro-democracy demands are still being ignored. plus the picture of bad health are still no action following an independent report into hundreds of needless deaths in the u.k. hospital scandal coming up after this break. wealthy
3:16 pm
british style. time. markets. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with max cause or for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune into kaiser report on a. secret laboratory curbeam was able to build most sophisticated robots which will unfortunately doesn't give a darn about anything tim's mission to teach creation and why it should care about
3:17 pm
humans in the world this is why you should care only on the. news continues here not a week off the shocking revelations of needless deaths in a british hospital there are still no signs of action the family and friends of hundreds of patients who died due to neglect according to a criminal action to be taken against those responsible and the former chief of another hospital says he was paid hall for a million pounds not to talk about a similar situation elsewhere on the surface has been following a scandal. but in the latest twist we've seen an n.h.s. whistleblower come out and say that he was forced to quit after he'd raise concerns about issues that he said endangered patient safety but this latest revelation comes on the back of the francis report that we saw last week now that was looking into the scandal that happened in that stuff which hospital where it's thought more
3:18 pm
than a thousand patients kids have died between two thousand and five and two thousand and eight as a result of inhumane and degrading treatment all of the war and food stuff and hospital in september of two cents to date it's just a disaster for people you know to be perfectly honest they're looking forward to. the visit was left to reach. the shoes on the floor we've been there to breakfast time before that sandwich described still. in the home still seems. to be she's had to go through what she went through the n.h.s. whistleblower he says that he was confronted with many of the same decisions and concerns that were raised at mit started to hospital now he was the head of one of the hospitals a united lincolnshire hospital he was facing many of the same problems he claims
3:19 pm
that government targets but he refused to meet the fear that it would endanger patient safety meant that he then had to question was subject to a so-called secret gag to keep him quiet of the whistleblower who spoke out gary volcker talked of a culture of fear and oppression and certainly it seems that a lot of these problems have been going on i think many many years now i'm joined by the head one of the members of the n.h.s. a political party know your political party that's been formed people within the health care profession and they're all very concerned about what's happening. in the n.h.s. right now when the mid staffordshire scandal was revealed very much the rhetoric from the government was that this was an exceptional case that this was it not a one of it was particularly bad and yet we're seeing one of the hospitals being investigated and it seems that nothing shocks just keep on coming east surprised at this no i'm not surprised at this wild stuff the trip was particularly bad there
3:20 pm
have always been in the n.h.s. while most of the care has been fantastic over the years in such a complicated organization and such a large organization there will be such incidents and there have been for many years the real problem is that the n.h.s. and the government do not seem to be able to learn from the old inquiries that of being from thirty years ago the hospital advisory service would report and i think the same things are still going on now because so the chief executive of the n.h.s. david nicholson to resign have so far been resisted he says that he has nothing to be as saying the of and that during his time presiding this is down to systematic failures so of course the people who are campaigning have been calling very hard for his resignation and saved by he has resisted that. well see keep you updated online with more stories and videos at auntie dot com in addition to what you see

in bahrain the two year anniversary of the anti regime uprising has been marred by more death and violence a teenager has reportedly been killed in clashes between police and protesters the demonstrators say the demands to end discrimination and release all political prisoners have not been met human rights activists are committed dad says that despite the recent steps to hold talks the path of reconciliation remains precarious. well not a lot of progress made in the last two years you know the king has assured the commission to monitor and documented in reservations in the area but actually done he did not respect the recommendations i was on a mission the human rights violations are trying i mean and as the anniversary now i'm a lot of violations and the excessive use of force by night. is required everywhere . has been using excessive being as part of stars we have our own sense of humor it was documented case where seventy four sixteen year old boy was to go to.

the opposite she did go into the game and they said they wanted to set a mechanic for the recommended isn't that. one of the and we believe that it's not the right time for such a dialogue when you still have. still. the day people are not being allowed to have their fundamental human rights and a lot so you have the up and death threats these are such rights are not being. implemented by this by the government and there is not a real platform for. sort of the sort of dialogue we are in the middle of a part. of me and that is a very big security base for the united states and we need to make a sort of balance between between. between the security and the united states because. if they are not to the human rights violations. big brother may be

watching every click you make online the u.s. government is using new defense software able to predict your future behavior and locations in cyberspace however with the program only using data submitted voluntarily via social networks things of privacy violations don't stay because he's going to check on reports. those of you who are using social networks will find this interesting the world's fifth largest defense contractor raytheon a multinational firm based in massachusetts came up with a software that can map out your life and even predict your moves your behavior based on the information that you provide on websites like facebook twitter or foursquare the guardian has obtained a video. where a raytheon staffer explains and shows how it works the program is called raw it someone already branded it google for spice just a few clicks and it creates diagrams charts maps showing who you've communicated
3:25 pm
with most online your associations and relationships places where you check in most you know over twenty five million people use this app called foursquare to alert friends of their whereabouts so the program uses that and also the photos that people take on smartphones often have led to today and longitude details automatically imbedded in them so this ride program a quick or two can analyze all that data and as the gentleman in the video claims it can roughly predict where to find you at a given time and potentially your behavior based on your interests so this firm that developed the software a major defense contractor has acknowledged that the technology was shared with the u.s. government as part of a joint research and development effort to help build the national security system capable of analyzing quote unquote trillions of entities from cyberspace that reminds me of the conversation that i had with william binney a mathematician aspiring software expert who had worked for the national security agency for decades and who told us that the government is spying on people on
3:26 pm
a much larger scale and that building social networks is part of it take a listen they were building social networks. who who is communicating and with whom inside this country so that your entire social network of everybody of every us citizen was being compiled. over time so they're taking it from one company alone roughly three hundred twenty million records a day that's over time that probably accumulated up to close to twenty trillion over the years mr binney blow the whistle on this n.s.a. program seeing it as a blatant violation of the constitution but with this right software one can argue that they use the information that individuals have already chosen to make public they put it out there and most people know that privacy safeguards that for example facebook provides don't hold water really and yet people try to share so if you don't want someone to be able to map out your entire life and to be able to potentially predict your behavior stop checking in everywhere and turn off location

hundred protesters have flooded the streets of berlin in a bid to prevent the eviction of a number of families from their homes police blocked roads and pepper sprayed activists outraged by skyrocketing prices fifteen people have reportedly been arrested there's been a long running debate over rising rents in berlin leading to the displacement of residents from the city center. the un has declared the situation in mali a humanitarian disaster with fears the french intervention could lead to further violence and ethnic reprisal killings and a geisha of atrocities emerge for the rapid advance of french led forces across the vast northern areas of the war torn nation journalist gonzalo want to reports now for r.t. from the man in capital. so you got him money yes. the united nations already describes the situation in mali as a disaster the u.n. human rights commission says the country's caught in a spiral of violence fraught with grievous consequences the situation has been made
3:29 pm
worse in the wake of ferocious fighting in and around the city of northern mali following four days of fierce resistance from insurgents complete with suicide attacks the french military has been forced to conclude that some of the locals made an extremist that however some of the key areas in this conflict are still off limits to international journalists the french army denying us passage saying it was for our own security the u.n. high commissioner for human rights not the palais made it plain in a recent statement that the situation in mali is only deteriorated following the foreign military intervention you know that the insurgency in mali is aggravated by ethnic clashes an artsy camera crew witnessed instances of eggs accuses him brutality perpetrated by the mali an army and survived. the military and not the only ones in gage's and hunting down people of arable quarry origin who are believed to be part of the insurgency and even the locals are going after them as
3:30 pm
well and for some time it has been difficult to find people from either of those ethnic groups anywhere in mali this brings us back to the fact that more than three hundred thirty thousand people have been forced to flee from their homes because of the crisis the last straw for all those refugees and indeed for all of mali as been a statement by al qaida coming out of the arabian peninsula which calls upon every muslim to join the holy war against france a war that is being fought in mali against the will of its people. mali are. business now with katie and katie joins us now in the studio at the news continues. for the eurozone in a bad way doesn't it and interesting enough not very good news for the biggest economies exactly germany france holland is certainly all posting dismal great figures today actually

live live. live . hello there welcome to business i'm k.z. poing thank you for joining me this evening hermosa sky now the three biggest economies in the euro zone posted the was growth figures since the height of the recession four years ago the economies of germany france and italy all shrank more than four cars in the fourth quarter of twenty twelve now earlier today i spoke to chris a wi-fi he's a chief strategist from spare bank international investment research now i asked him about the spigot and i also asked what he first saw happening this year twenty thirteen and beyond that they are certainly of great concern i think to economists
3:34 pm
looking at the prospects for the recovery because the euro zone is one of the world's major economic regions and if it were to continue into this you know economic recession be slight then the danger is we could see contagion spreading to china and to the u.s. and that of course we don't come back and hurt the russian economy so yeah of great concern right now but still most economists are forecasting that the fourth quarter of last year was the worst quarter and the indications are that we're beginning to see you know something of a recovery taking place and so for this year there could be expectations are that the economy will do slightly better than we saw in two thousand and twelve so if you go along with the war acb president mario draghi is saying that confidence has stabilized and that he does see growth at some point this year later on. well i
3:35 pm
think you know he's obviously hoping that that's been the case it's still too early to say that there is a. boost in the economy we can see some slight improvements and they say that there is an optimistic outlook for this year compared to last year but it's far too early to be complacent for example if their worst to be the cherry aeration in the banking system in spain or initially then that could certainly undermine confidence and lead to a much lower rate of growth of the line again this year so you know we're certainly seeing this optimistic tone and optimistic rhetoric and everybody's trying to kind of talk up the story the hope that that would increase investment or consumption but it's still early days yet and very fragile and everybody is very nervous and really just talking about these figures that came out today they all roll the dismal today no proof that the soviet spending cuts all stare at a is not walking. well this you say that the it isn't working we had a mess of. austerity cuts across many countries in the euro zone and we haven't
3:36 pm
really seen any benefit from that the benefit has been on the fiscal position of the budget level but not in terms of economic growth but you know that the slump has extended to countries that haven't suffered austerity purchase for example germany the region's biggest economy has also reported much slower growth than had been expected and yet you know that's a strong economy strong balance sheet didn't suffer from many any cuts what we're actually seeing is that you know the problems on the edge of europe in the mediterranean are of that stature are undermining confidence last year and this is what drag i guess is hoping to say to confidence is picking up but no doubt about it last year the concern about problems in mediterranean countries in ireland has had an impact on confidence and that has reduced investment spending by companies and consumption by consumers so that needs to change we need to prevent that loss of confidence from deepening because that is what will drive the euro zone economy
3:37 pm
much worse and another front so that could drag it down even was perhaps a you're right on the strength of that at the moment how much of a disadvantage is that. well the euro is a bit of an anomaly at this stage because you know the central bank and industrialists it would all prefer to see a weaker euro because you know like we see in other countries in japan particularly in the u.s. . they are striving for weaker economies to or weaker currencies to help boost economic growth. but on the other hand you know a strong euro can be taken as a reflection of confidence in the region of recovery and it can boost confidence so there's a little bit of a kind of a mismatch i guess between what the politicians want which is you know i think it better europe better currency which would then maybe sustain better come. it is in the region where the industrialists of the central bank are of course concerned
3:38 pm
that it will hamper growth so it is a concern either way and of course the whole issue of currencies in general around the world is now becoming the major talking point a major economic issue you know for all central banks and for all economies. well let's now see how the european markets reacted to those disappointing figures and as you can see it's probably not a surprise a tool that we did have declines of the half a percent down over a percent in negative territory for the dax in germany there was also contraction for the japanese economy as well really raising concerns about global growth these concerns really felt across the board including the move to have a look at how u.s. stocks are performing at the moment and they're actually bouncing around i've got to tell you to be honest but as you can see below the line just now but pretty flat it's a lackluster performance despite positive domestic data we've got jobless claims actually foreleg as well as that one of the big stories today is warren buffett
3:39 pm
still to buy hives the food group famous for tomato ketchup bins and mayonnaise and also this is a twenty eight billion dollars deal about this is how the russian river water then it was indeed a mixed performance as you can see just so it's lower to the u.s. dollar and the higher to the common currency that was the first day for months for the russian currency we'll see how the markets got on then as you can see there declines as well taken their international cue that's having a loss or oil price supports and as you can see decreasing more than one and a half percent for the r.t.s. just that and that's ahead of friday's r.t.s. my stakes i.p.o. as well. performance much better than the market though up one point five percent and that's because there's rumors of it selling day. came moving on russia's energy . group is offering the top bit of around two point five billion dollars for the
